New Mass Spectrometer Handles Billions of Molecules at Once
Scientists built a prototype mass spectrometer that can analyze thousands of molecules simultaneously instead of one at a time. The breakthrough could revolutionize drug discovery and help researchers capture the complete molecular makeup of a single cell.
Scientists Find Hidden Code Inside Human DNA
Researchers discovered that human DNA contains a second layer of instructions that controls how genes work, potentially explaining why identical proteins can behave differently in our cells. This breakthrough could change how we understand and treat diseases.
RNA Molecule Takes Us Closer to Origins of Life
Scientists created a 45-unit RNA molecule that can almost replicate itself, bringing us closer to understanding how life began on Earth. This tiny strand performs both key steps needed for self-replication, just not yet in the same container.
